@merill people making a mountain from a molehill? On Mastodon? Never expected it…

Yes, it’s shitty. But:

  • You can do non-Authenticator passkeys now, from other apps that you can use on non-Android devices
  • If device-bound, Authenticator native passkeys are forced on your work device, you did not had a say in the matter already.
  • If device-bound passkeys are mandated on your personal device, reject the use of work apps on your personal devices and get a security key instead!
